I saw the series awhile back on Cirque du Soleil - it followed the performers as they honed their acts. That was pretty inspiring. But what is standing out in my mind is my kids' gymnastics "show" where they showed off what they had learned in the past few months. My kids are 3 & 4, so there's only so much you expect. But my son has had gross motor delays his whole life and really struggled with some of the components other kids sailed through. I could tell he was a bit nervous that morning as both sets of grandparents were attending, as well as his dad. Despite all of the pressure, he pushed through the entire thing. Not once did he give up, even when he struggled with a particular skill. And at the very end, he was one of just a few kids who was able to pull off a very difficult skill. It's inspiring to see how hard he tries and that his practice had really started to pay off. This was a tougher question than I thought it would be!

Reinhart Sun, 18 Jul 2010 20:22:39 +0000 http://www.digitaldads.com/?p=1231#comment-940 My wife and I went on a cruise for our honeymoon this past May. While on the cruise we witnessed an inspiring performance. One of the shows covered rock n' roll hits throughout the ages. The performers were truly amazing with great singing and dancing. It was more than I had expected from a cruise line.<br><br>At one point the performers came into the aisle and a bunch of elders got up and started to dance. It was truly inspiring to see people relating to this performance. I'm sure it brought back great memories for those guests. It had me thinking how great it would be to come back when my wife and I are in our 80s to reminisce about our life together. My wife and I went on a cruise for our honeymoon this past May.

I love the songs she sings (the songs are very rarely anything on the radio - instead she likes to make up her own music and lyrics) but sometimes do have to ask her to tone it down a bit because mommy has to think!!!

Having been off the stage for a while, we were nervous to take to the stage again, but the material kept the momentum. We were chosen to play a husband and wife (tough, right?) - a couple who had a young child but were constantly arguing because the husband was always putting work first. Our characters had a full-out argument on stage, ending with my character basically telling her husband she couldn't do it any longer. Scene faded to black, and two other scenarios played out. <br><br>The last scene shows all characters from the three scenarios running amongst chaos and trying to figure out what the confusion was about town. The announcer comes on and tells the audience that two planes have just crashed into the twin towers. Our characters, now in complete disbelief, explained to the audience why they hadn't made it to their destination that day. In our case, it was because my character had convinced my workaholic husband to join me in taking our daughter to school for her first day. The show was about survivors of 9/11 and every night we performed I did not leave the stage without goosebumps.<br><br>It was a huge honor to act in that show and I hope every actor has an opportunity to feel a performance the way we did. Watching Cirque du Soleil is always inspirational to my husband and I, and it provides a break from the norm, and an escape from reality. Please choose us as your winners!
